Mu Feiran smiled in embarra.s.sment. “What empress? It’s just flattery from everyone. This industry is like that. Once they make you popular, you are whatever they say you are. When they stop praising you one day, you may take the greatest fall you have ever known. All of this is superficial. Ultimately, how you live depends on yourself.”
Yu Minmin said, “But someone who can attain the level of accomplishment that you have will at least leave a mark for generations to come. No one will forget you no matter how many years pa.s.s. Dear me, I didn’t think that the two of you would become friends. But it gave me the chance to interact with Sister Feiran, an A-list actress whom I definitely wouldn’t have had a chance to meet in the past.”
Mu Feiran smiled even wider. “After being praised by Madam President like this, I really don’t know how to respond.”
Yu Minmin made a face. Lin Che said, “Alright. Don’t stand on such ceremony. I just wanted to introduce you to one another. We’re all friends. It’s so gross to hear you flattering each other, you know.”
Hearing this, Mu Feiran laughed out loud. “That’s true. This is a problem of habit. I accidentally started praising you.”
They all started laughing before sitting down. Yu Minmin did not waste time either and immediately handed the script to Lin Che.
Lin Che received the script and looked at the synopsis in front, the outline and some of the follow-up stories.
Yu Minmin said, “The script is good. But Xue Yang has to take the more high-end route of filming movies. He must at least film one movie to solidify his position, so he has no choice but to give up this opportunity. I’ve already asked them about this. They haven’t decided on the female lead. I told the director that I’m going to recommend an actress for the role. He still doesn’t know that it’s you. If he did, he would definitely go crazy with delight.”
As she read the script, Lin Che felt that the story was indeed great. “But am I really going to film a television series? I really… haven’t acted for many years.”
“What are you afraid of? Your foundation is good and at the very least, you had professional training. Did you forget how to act so quickly? Go home and practice. I guarantee that you’ll act better than all of them.”
Lin Che was about to say something again but Yu Minmin immediately cut in and said, “That’s enough. Let’s leave it at that. We’ll go for a casting audition with the director tomorrow. Even though the casting audition probably means nothing much to you too, since you will definitely pa.s.s it but we must still go through the motions anyway.” Yu Minmin ended the discussion promptly. Lin Che immediately choked in disbelief. Was there anyone as unreasonable as her…
Yu Minmin proceeded to look at Mu Feiran. “Sister Feiran, do you have any other plans?”
“Me? I’ve already been acting for more than ten years. I’ve already filmed enough. For the time being, I don’t want to think about anything. I just want to rest for a bit and look after my child.”
Yu Minmin had a regretful expression on her face. “I was even thinking that you could come to our company if you left the management of your former company.”
“I don’t want that. I’ll be going back to Seattle soon. But since the child is here, I want to bring her around to play for a few days.”
Hearing this, Lin Che looked at Mu Feiran and said, “Are you still going back… in that case, won’t we have to separate?”
“Yes. I know that you definitely won’t leave. Every night is so pa.s.sionate…” Mu Feiran said, covering her mouth while smiling.
“…” Lin Che felt like she had been attacked. “What pa.s.sion?!”
“Isn’t it you guys? You’re always making noise in the room. I hear it every day~”
“…” Lin Che’s face immediately turned red.
She had forgotten that they were no longer in the Gu residence. The soundproofing of the rooms was not as good as it was in the Gu residence, so she probably could hear a lot of noise from outside too.
“You…”
Yu Minmin looked at Lin Che. She averted her gaze and said, “No wonder Sister Feiran wants to go back to America. It turns out that you’re the ultimate culprit… but Feiran, you should get used to it too. To be honest, it’s not just her first or second time being like this. As long as she’s with Gu Jingze, we will definitely be the ones suffering.”
Mu Feiran said, “Precisely. I’m so envious and jealous that she has such a handsome man protecting her while I’m all alone, so I decided to just leave earlier.”
The two of them had begun singing the same tune instead, causing Lin Che to go completely speechless.
She had always felt that these were very ordinary events. But every time they saw it happening, they always said that she and Gu Jingze were tormenting them.
However, it was because they found Gu Jingze slightly frightening. If he showed any hint of affability, they were unable to withstand it.
Just then, Yu Minmin’s phone started vibrating. “Alright. You guys go ahead. I have to go.”
“You’re in such a rush…” Lin Che said.
Yu Minmin blushed. “Hn. I have something on later.”
However, Lin Che’s eyes were very sharp at this moment. She looked at Yu Minmin’s phone which was still vibrating. “Could Mr. President be calling you? It must be. Is Mr. President going to pick you up?”
It was rare for Yu Minmin to become fl.u.s.tered. She was even stuttering as she spoke. “Seriously. Go back home, read your script properly, and prepare for tomorrow’s audition. Move aside, move aside.”
“Minmin. You’re so nervous all of a sudden. Something must be up, hehe. Quick, tell us honestly. Otherwise, I won’t let you go so easily!”
“Good lord. It’s really nothing… you…”
Yu Minmin was still extremely anxious. On the other side, Mu Feiran had already grabbed onto Lin Che hastily. “Hey, hey, hey.”
Lin Che froze. Then, she turned around and immediately saw that none other than Gu Jingming had arrived.
Mr. President had actually come here…
Mu Feiran frantically stood up. It was her first time seeing Mr. President in person, so she was still slightly nervous.
Gu Jingming caught sight of Lin Che and immediately smiled as he walked towards them.
Yu Minmin had already hastily gone up to him. “Why did you come in? I was just about to go out.”
“It’s nothing. I heard that Sister-In-Law is here, so I came to say h.e.l.lo.” Gu Jingming looked at Lin Che and said, “It’s been a long time.”
Lin Che sighed in admiration as she looked at Gu Jingming. She saw him on the television all the time. He did not look any different in person; he looked as das.h.i.+ng and outstanding.
No wonder he had always been known as the most charismatic president.
Lin Che said, “Long time no see, Mr. President.”
Gu Jingze said, “I wonder what magical power you have to make Jingze turn the sky and the earth upside down with you.”
Immediately, Lin Che felt slightly embarra.s.sed as she looked at Gu Jingming. “In the beginning, I didn’t think of creating any trouble. As for what happened after that, to be honest, it wasn’t something I had predicted either.”
Gu Jingming said, “Alright. You don’t have to be nervous too. I wasn’t questioning you either. But it hasn’t been easy for you and Jingze to come this far. I hope that you two will treasure it.”
By the time he had finished speaking, his hand was already on Yu Minmin. “Let’s go.”
Yu Minmin turned around and said to Lin Che, “Then, I’ll be leaving first. Remember to be punctual tomorrow.”
“Hn. Okay.”
Lin Che watched Yu Minmin wave before quickly jogging to catch up with Gu Jingming.
Beside her, Mu Feiran sighed. “Each time I go out with you is always a hair-raising experience. Now, even Mr. President has appeared in front of me. Lin Che, outsiders think that you’re just a simple small-name celebrity. They’re truly blind to the truth.”
Lin Che said, “I am indeed just a simple small-name celebrity.”
